That's why we don't need a foundation. What we need is a set of independent crowdfunded projects.
But, but, how will independent crowdfunded projects feather their nests by building a new revolving door regulatory agency they can milk for a pension?

I suggest they change the name of the current Bitcoin Foundation to the Realcoin Foundation and then we can, if needed(?), form a new Bitcoin Foundation for the benefit of Bitcoin.

How are we sure that the "Bitcoin Foundation 2.0" wont turn out the same in the end?

Agree with BurtW
Only twitter people or his / stupid people give a crap about the opinion of 1 or a few.

boo hoo BTC foundation is shit. we knew that from day 1.

Isn't It more that the BTC foundation has had leaders who have scammed for 10's of millions ?
and they don't seem to really mind...

I hope this isn't the real RawDog from youtube, because he is nothing but a troll. 
 

You said it.

What an annoying clown.  He even LOOKS like a troll.

In case people did not see it, here is the announcement of Pierce's  new RealCoin on the Wall Street Journal, 2014-07-08 (yesterday):

Dollar-Backed Digital Currency Aims to Fix Bitcoin’s Volatility Dilemma
http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/07/08/dollar-backed-digital-currency-aims-to-fix-bitcoins-volatility-dilemma/

I read that there was already an altcoin with that name, which is already defunct.  This apparently is not it.

It's just a Mastercoin pump.
I heard Brock's new coins was called Realcoin.
It is, but it's based on Mastercoin.

It's another P&D like the Maidsafe IPO.

All the core developers who were with Bitcoin at the beginning are starting to leave, this could actually affect the price, especially if the Bitcoin foundation still has the ability to fuck with the network unless the community can create their own fork we all agree on.

What are you talking about? The Foundation is entirely separate from the Bitcoin Core development group. They don't have any power over the network.

the boss himself is entering the discussion, good to see you! yeah well, this is an excellent example of how people may mix up the different groups around bitcoin. doesn't blockchain.info manage the blockchain? wasn't karpeles the CEO of bitcoin? or was it satoshi?

It's all an education game.

Andreas Antonop's tweet is the worst news yet that I've heard for bitcoin.  

Looks like Andreas is done with the Bitcoin Foundation. Good. Screw the Bitcoin Foundation.

"I can no longer have even the smallest association with the Bitcoin Foundation, because of the complete lack of transparency" https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/486926129409052672

The Bitcoin foundation has gained Pierce and lost Antonopolos.  This isn't going in the right direction at all.


This is good news, the foundation is a questionable organization for Bitcoin and we need alternatives.
It would be better to start fresh while Bitcoin is still relatively young and get this shuffling done when its not as painful to do.

No impact on Bitcoin whatsoever.
Bitcoin Foundation will do its thing.
Andreas will continue his awesome efforts.
Anyone know, is he on this forum?

I hope this isn't the real RawDog from youtube, because he is nothing but a troll. The title clearly says so.

How did you connect the Bitcoin Foundation to be the lifeline of bitcoin?
This is true, Rawdog from youtube has always had it out for bitcoin.  Looks like the OP, whoever he is, is using that name to carry on the Rawdog tradition of narrow sighted, believe everything you see and hear on the news, instigation tactic BS.  I really can't stand that youtube channel.  And I tried to watch one of his videos more than once.  Can't do it.

Not only is it an alt coin it is a really stupid alt coin - one of the worst ideas ever.
It's just a Mastercoin pump.

Too many investors are unhappy about getting stuck with a useless and illiquid failure.

well, is it really important what the foundation does? we've seen incompetent people there before and scandals over scandals. it does somewhat hurt bitcoin but what do you guys and gals expect from a lobbyist organisation that tries to push their interests?

I second. Please change the title. And yes... it is a good news. Especially when the frontmen of the foundation are planning to roll out their own coin.
Seriously?
That would be a glaring conflict of interest.

there is no conflict of interest. those in the foundation only have one interest.. greed. pre-mining their own new coin and selling bags of crap to naive noobs is all about the greed, fully inline with their interests..
